[ They nod a couple of times. ]

I suppose people thought the estate to be abandoned... It isn't uncommon for man to take what they want if it's there for the taking. Sometimes, even if it isn't there for the taking. Coveting is what they're wont to do.

Are you fond of stories, Mister Brofiise?

[egodist]

No, but for the sake of the conversation, yes.

[help]

Continue.

[dropoffs]

I won't be providing you anything that you don't want or request.

[ They are here to serve, so. ]

[egodist]

I said continue.

I'm still here, aren't I?

[he would've walked away if he wasn't interested]

[dropoffs]

Then I hope you find what you're searching for in this conversation.

[ Efficiency is important, isn't it? But they also like to ramble, honestly. ]

There's a tale that the manor brings tragedy to all of its residents. I wonder if similar stories can be found in the galaxy. I also wonder how much truth is there in it.

[egodist]

And you still remained in the manor, knowing of this? Was there no way to leave?

[dropoffs]

I did see unfortunate events play, but at the time I had thought staying there would be best. My master could have returned at any moment, you see.

Since you are not questioning it, does this mean you believe in curses?

[egodist]

Not in the slightest, but I don't have enough information about your world to affirm or deny. In my own, I don't believe in magic. In others, I still believe there is some scientific explanation but I won't argue against someone's experience.

[like if the whole world calls it magic and scien's never been there, who is he to override them without proof]

Do you believe in curses?

[dropoffs]

I did mean to ask for your personal opinion and it is quite a logical one. Thank you.

[ Hard to argue with weird worlds and stuff. ]

The church often talked about curses of the devil and sent crusades to exterminate heretics. I would say that my mind is open to the possibility, curse or fate.

[egodist]

[




his expression withers slightly]

.... are you open to other explanations.

[please.]

[dropoffs]

I was never a devout person.

[ so, yeah. ]

[egodist]

It could still be explained by science, most likely, unless you know for certain that magic exists within your realm.

[dropoffs]

I wonder how anyone goes about proving the supernatural and unknown if it isn't the foundation of life itself. Such powers could be withheld from the masses, couldn't it? Power that could change the world fastened behind a gate... Wielded by a small few. Knowledge is not too different.

You seem against the divine, Mister Brofiise.

[egodist]

In my world, there is no god. Only human wisdom. To the point that even what I know firmly to be my own creation born from science is mistaken for miracles, and I'm revered as a savior and deity.

[there is an arrogance to this statement, as if he's gotten used to it as fact. however he doesn't seem particularly pleased with his own moniker. the dissonance between a man who became god, who has no interest in the heavens.]

So no, I can't say that I truly believe in the divine when supposedly I am the closest thing to it.

[dropoffs]

There will always be men like you. People welcome such minds, then others reject it.

[ It's said as a statement, neither negative or positive. ]

It sounds like a lonely seat.

[egodist]

[the vibes are ??????????? but still like slightly off-kilter]

Does it?

[dropoffs]

[ This is a little funny to them. Only a little. ]

Do you have an equal?

[egodist]

One.

[dropoffs]

[ A little clap of their hands. ]

Then you are not alone.

[egodist]

It doesn't matter to me if I am or not. I am used to my circumstances and have accepted them.

[begging this man to crave more human interaction]

Are you an easily lonely person? Is that why you keep waiting for others?

[dropoffs]

[ They know people are weird, but also know people are people. ]

My master and I are bound by a promise, which is why I am waiting for them. In terms of loneliness... It is livelier with people around.

[egodist]

So you are.

[he can't relate....]

What promise binds you to your master?

[dropoffs]

People are very fascinating to observe.

[ They don't think it's necessary to elaborate or anything. People being around is definitely more fun. ]

To serve and guide.

[egodist]

Sometimes they're amusing.

[that's not the same thing, scien. it's the way a king regards his court jester.]

Guide...? You prepare the course for your master?

[dropoffs]

Yes, even if sometimes they're pitiful.

[ They say it more like they are a bystander to life's happenings. ]

Well, as we know, they do get lost. Guiding can be reminding them of their goal or their purpose.
